What Does CAA Stand For?
CAA stands for Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act (CAA) is a comprehensive federal law in the United States aimed at regulating air emissions from stationary and mobile sources. It authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish and enforce air quality standards, promote the reduction of air pollutants, and protect the public health and the environment. The CAA encompasses various provisions, including setting National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and requiring states to develop implementation plans to achieve and maintain these standards. The Act plays a crucial role in improving air quality and safeguarding public health against the effects of air pollution.
